(00:39):
Music Video Review Podcasts, and tonightwe will be reviewing Mask by Boo House.
Throwback Music Video Podcast is a podcastwhere we look at older even new
videos and we watch them. Weresearch them, we look at them,
we judge them, usually about thevideos that are around their time are just
what we like, what we do, and we at the end of the

(01:00):
podcast we decide if we're going tokeep them, are we're going to throw
them back? Hence the name youthrowback Yeah, Yeah, so you know
yeah. Mask is a song byEnglish Got the group. It is the
title track from their second album,and its music video was a collaboration with
the band and the Beggars Banquet filmcrew Chris Collins and Ken Lawrence. The

(01:21):
music video currently has three hundred andthirty three thousand views on YouTube. That's
it. It's not their most popularsong, but that's the track they chose
though to convey the idea of bathHouse back in nineteen eighty one. And
it's also like like a lot ofpeople say it's their best video. Rights
the more artist. Yeah, theband certainly loves a video. It's like

(01:42):
a churning point for the band too. That's why I read in the article
it's kind of like pre this video, Peter Murphy was very like angry on
stage and like kind of more oflike an angry kind of like mad,
and then after this he got morekind of dark and artsy and kind of
more I can't say that because I'veseen some of the gigs after after the

(02:04):
fact that it's still aggressive and he'sstill aggressive, but definitely I mean after
in the Flatfield, the first album'syeah, definitely aggressive, ye, but
yeah, Like I mean, thething is the whole Mask album is when
they're more mature, they're maturing,Yeah, not more mature, like they're
just maturing as artists. Because Iremember seeing two the you know, there's
Guy's gone out tour and all that, and and it's still kind of the

(02:25):
same act a little more refined thoughdefinitely yeah, but but yeah, in
the end of the Flatfield era wasjust like chaos and yeah it's coked up,
cooked up chaos, cooked up chaos. Yeah. Like I back then,
when I first saw that that kindof tour, I just thought it
was just Peter Murphy being Peter Murphy. But no, I had you know,

(02:45):
I was still kind of innocent withthe whole drug use are you talking
about when you watch that VHS?Yeah, yeah, that one, that
one, the Target video. Butthat was a great show still though,
you know, like just to seeit, it's crazy. It's so crazy
to watch those. I mean whenyou watch those old vhs is and like
it's so weird and it seems itseemed like why should I be watching this,

(03:07):
Like it's almost like a snuff myparents. My parents find this where
they like throw it in the trash. You know, I bought this.
I had to go all the wayto West Covina to buy it this.
Yes, I spent the money ontwenty bucks on that. Yeah, so
many of those I'm back in theday. Now it's on YouTube. It
was like, yeah, now it'srendered useless. People are making money off

(03:30):
it now on the YouTube. TI was like it was twenty five thirty
bucks for those Yeah, I meanthat's that's nineteen nineties money, exact early
nineties move that's fortune and no hightech forehead VHS tracking. Can you fix
any of the none of the trackingissues in there? It was just bad.
Like at the end of the VHSthere's like a half of a Simpsons
episode. I have like a Ihave like a Valvet underground one that I

(03:54):
bought like not that long ago atlike Frankincense. I think there's like a
weird, like I don't know Coachepisode at the end of Dauber and you
know Coaches, it's a super powerfulAndy Warhol videos with a ground music and
then all of a sudden, HeyDauber, that guys, that guy should

(04:15):
be a shame. It happens.But Mask About House and al are Resident
About House. He's wearing the MillhouseAbout House shirt Historian. It is a
landmark episode. I'm gonna say.He sent us readings to do for this
homework assignment work, and from whatI hear, they didn't read it read.
I read it, really read.It's a great read that basically I

(04:39):
what I did is I sent thema few pages of the book called Dark
Entries, bout House and Beyond.You can get it on an Amazon dot
com for realtive be keeping. OhI actually never mind seventy nine dollars.
It is pretty pricey and it's paperback. It's yeah, it's written by Ian
Shirley. Oh I remember that book. Yeah, I remember seeing it right
right, there's a picture of PeterMurphy like spread eagle with his pubes popping

(05:00):
out of his g string. I'llnever forget in that picture tattoo in the
cover. You got full nip,Peter Murphy, full nip. Right,
But yeah, that book came outin nineteen ninety four. Even the the
Amazon thing here is in January twothousand and one. It's definitely way older
than that. But the synopsis isthe full Gothic rise and fall up Bows
from their early days as glam strucklads in Northampton, England to worldwide cult

(05:24):
status. Well, this is thesecond boat House that we're doing, right,
No, this is the first time. Oh no, I thought we
did Ballylocas. We didn't. Ithought we did. I have never done,
We've never done about It was thevery first Boos video. I mean,
we've done one hundred Ordy. Ican't remember all of this. Yeah,
and there was a huge pause betweenninety We were talking about getting them

(05:45):
all tattooed on us, the namesof every video, and we haven't done
that yet. I mean we didhave that was That was the whole thing
of the premise of the episode,whole Back, kind of like I'm a
mental style on our backs. Yeah, that's true. I was running out
of space though, so that's whywe had to kind of like taking some
weight to get some more skin.Prisoner in a Russian anymore log man,
any more mass out names? Indeed? So guys, what is your history?

(06:09):
You would mask my bows? Oh? Nothing with masks with Bathhouse for
sure, but Bathhouse I was scaredme as far as the post punk goth
bands back into early days. Whywhy? Why? Well, because I
felt like, Okay, first ofall, if I dug really deep and
I really got into I pictured myselfall of a sudden like Peter Murphy on
that cover, you know, nipplesexposed, mesh shirt eighteen whole docks with

(06:32):
maybe wearing some like those punk rocktrousers. My bulge, I'll trying to
get out of the zippers, youknow, because you know, those you
know that love. Yeah, Ifelt like I could easily I'm capable of
being you could totally see you cansee what some cut off dickie were you
were you afraid of being becoming agoth? Right, It's not becoming a
goth, but more like really livingbecause I feel like, Okay, well,

(06:54):
first of all, let's preface thefact that we've been in the scene
for a long time, and thiswas a very early stage of us getting
into not just music, but ofcourse the culture, right and the subculture
for sure, in the clubbing andthe shows and everything that has something to
do with that. And I feltlike there was a time where I could
easily see myself fit in well,especially with the with the entry band like

(07:15):
let's say Joy Division, which wasa pretty much like an entry band for
a lot of us, and thengoing back are going into the post punk
and then you know, kind ofgoth stuff, right, So yeah,
you could. I mean with anentry band like Joy Division, you could
just go down that road and you'realready an angsty team, correct, Yeah,
you're already depressed about a million things. You know what. I felt
like bath House was like this,once you jump off into that Cliff,

(07:39):
you go you don't go back rightright, I will attest to that exactly.
But I love I love bath House, man. I mean I went
back to them several times. Iwanted to get in more to the deep
cuts because I wasn't really I didn'treally get into all the albums. I
didn't even realize that had that manyalbums in the first place. Yeah,
yeah, they had. In theirfirst incarnation, they had like three albums,
right, and then they broke andall powerful and also the blending of

(08:03):
the genres. Well, the thingabout the thing about bath House is they're
esthetic and not I guess not theaesthetic, but the aesthetic that their fans
put out isn't what they are.They're a fucking artsy um. They're very
experimental, experimental band. They're soexperiments, very open. Almost a lot
of their songs almost I would consideralmost industrial sounding, with a lot of

(08:26):
the noises that are in there andstuff like that that are like like almost
like proto industrial, you know,I guess maybe not. I don't know
what you would call that, butit's very different than what you would when
when you see somebody wearing about howshirt you're like their music doesn't come to
mind. It's so experimental and different, you know, it's almost you know,
or if you're gauging what their musicis like based on the people you're
seeing them like rocking their their gear, you would think, oh, it's

(08:48):
just goth or death rock, butit was really much more. It's deeper,
deeper than Yeah, it's not asa schlocky as let's say, the
Bat Cave bands back in the inthe early eighties, you know, like
Galen Sex, there was a lotof copycats. Yeah, you know what
I'm saying. I mean, they'recopying good parts of them, but they're
not take getting as deep as themwith the experimentalness and the artsiness and that.
I mean, when I saw PeterMurphy play, I'm like, this

(09:09):
guy is a fucking actor, Likehe is swarming, you know, and
when you watch this video, youwatch the videos and different things like that,
see him play live, I mean, he's a performance performance number one.
You know, all of them,you know, they all have their
you could see how they all kindof just do their serious thing because he
is so big, you know,Like yeah, and to add to that,

(09:30):
like I was telling Louie earlier outbut they head first dove into that
punk funk sound bassline that you know, come on bella Ghost, he said,
you got the boss of Nova Beat, right yea. And then and
then the bass lines you wouldn't andyou wouldn't expect that from hardcore, right,
I'm saying, like the people thatare into them, it's kind of
a weird DYNAMICAE yeah, dub alot of dove bass lines exactly, well

(09:54):
influencing. I think a lot ofthis a lot of people don't get deep
into like almost like a post punkwhere there's a lot of funk in their
base lots, you know, disco, you know, yeah, they disco
all that stuff like that. Youget into you know a lot of like
those those older post poke baths andthen even like echoing the Bunny, when
you hear their basselines, they're sofunky, very funky. Yeah, and
they're almost all base driven, youknow. So it's like I think a

(10:15):
lot of people don't really delve deep. They hear the pop songs that are
kind of more synthy sounding, arekind of more more wavy accessible, you
know. So yeah, man,my house is ah, it's they're bound
to be reckoned with when you reallyget deep into their How about you,
when did you first feel the powergrab you? Because it never let you
go? I know, yeah,during our Notes from the Underground session exactly,

(10:37):
yes, yep, you know theyshowed the hung the video for belgos
Dead's Hunger. Let's let's say whatNotes in the Mandagond was like this weird,
very independent, right. It wasback in the day. The UHF
stations around here basically video show,a music video show called Notes from the
Underground by Rodney and the rock wasit. It wasn't him, It was
just some other guy. I don'tknow who he is, but he is

(10:58):
a DJ or right, there's there'sa VJ in there. And he would
show you know, like obscure videosor like very let's say, counterculture music
videos. Back in the day.They would show like I remember seeing my
first Sonic youth music video and alot of a lot of India. But
then he'll throw in then he threwthat in, and then I like,
I've heard about I've seen because I'mthrough the shirts. You know every kids

(11:20):
the kids love wearing the bow shirts, right, And then I saw like,
oh, so this is who PeterMurphy is. And I'm like,
basically this Bella Ghosties said music videowas the opening scene in The Hunger from
from you know that ninth Rob Flanagan, Yeah that's him. Yeah, yeah,
he was the he was j ohbut yeah. Yeah. So yeah,
seeing seeing that and it's like howTony Scott directed it. Of course

(11:43):
it's very stylish music video, andjust seeing the nightclub scene in there and
just Peter Murphy's um, just hisfreaking chiseled face being shown by these lights,
by this light and it's creating thesecrazy as shadows and through this cage.
Right. It was just I mean, you know he's definitely performing.
He's you know Pegan right there,and you got David Bowie, so you
know David Bowie and Baus we weretalking about earlier like they touched pass but

(12:07):
never really connected or never really connectedsince then. But yeah, that was
my experience with them. And Iwas like our the male mentor, yes,
a mutual male mentor. He hadthe whole Pose discography CD collection and
so I borrowed some of it andright and dubbed him. And speaking of
male mentor, one time, agreat friend of ours, Mark rest in

(12:28):
peace. He uh, he waslike trying to get me into like all
these music because he was introduced meto the club scene, right, He's
like, oh yeah, Peter Murphy'she's kind of like a mix of David
Bowie and iggy pop. And Iwas like, and then seeing him later,
I'm like, ah, he nailedit on the head. You know,
it's exactly who he is, orat least is his aesthetics were.
You know, yeah, he putshis body on the line, but he's
all show show. Yeah, he'sa bit dark, physical, physical,

(12:50):
theatrical, you know. But nowwe're you hypnotimes right away. Yeah.
Yeah. Listening to music around thattime too, we were you know,
we were in a band, rightand when and the way I just like,
you know, you're in a band, you start to break down music
a little differently than just a commonlistener, and you kind of want to
break down how songs are constructed.And the way they constructed music was a
huge draw for me. You know, It's not you know, like it's

(13:11):
cool. They're they're great, themusic sounds great, the esthetics are wonderful,
and Peanut Murphy is amazing. It'sjust that, but like seeing how
the band puts things together. They'reso experimental and and that's always been like
a huge like draw for me andan influence on the music I make as
well. It's almost hard to copy. It's hard to copy exactly, but
it's accessible that people like learning howto play instruments of her time, just

(13:33):
like joy Division is. It's veryminimal, so it is accessible if you
do find it, or you couldplay kind of a fake it, you
know, and you could get thereand as like a young kid, you're
like, oh wow, I'm kindof doing it like, and it gets
you excited to keep going, youknow, exactly because I remember the longest
time we were trying to do bellcoshe's dead, right, Yeah, yeah,
we had to. We had wehad it going okay, right,

(13:54):
it wasn't too bad. Yeah,if you get somebody doing the drums like
you could kind of do it inthe dude, dude, you know,
and that song is very easy youthink about. It's just the hard part
really is the getting the Peter Murphycharisma and first of all, but the
guitars and the effects to go alongwith it, you know, because yeah,
like a lot of a lot ofthem delays are used on that in

(14:15):
the drums and the guitars and thebass just like haunting as yeah it is
now. I sadly I've never seenthem as a band about as bad House.
You guys obviously have because you knowyou've been to the recent shows,
right, but I did. I'msure you guys. Remember, I think
all you guys were there. Wedid see eleven Rockets perform the grand opening
nine of the classic club Perversion.Remember that. Yeah, yeah, it

(14:37):
was a packed night. That wasa big deal. It was a big
deal, human deal because that wasbefore the Resurrection tour exactly. Now,
tell me what what what year wasa ninety six? Remember, I remember
we were in line. I wasstill like, I don't think it was
really them. They're playing a club. It's weird, but that's all they
knew back and then I mean still, I mean yeah they were. They

(14:58):
were a worldwide he hit was soAlive and rock Loving Rockets, by the
way, is um the bath Housespinoff band. All the band broke up
and it's basically the other remaining threeof the band, you know, form
Loving Rockets with Daniel lash Is thatwhen Peter Murphy did his solo album?
Or was that for other reasons theybroke up, Well, they broke up

(15:20):
just because they can't stand Peter fromwhen I read he got sick and he
wasn't around doing the recording. Hedid get sick, and then when he
came back there was a riff betweenYeah, when they were recording to their
last album. Okay, it's funnytoo know. He's like he's been wanting
to wanting him to join. DanielAsh has been he's like a childhood friend
to come on and join, buthe didn't want to. At first he
didn't want to, and then whenhe started doing it, and then he

(15:41):
didn't want David Jay to come inbecause he's like, no, he's too
controlling, you know. So he'slike, I want a band that's my
full control. But is it reallyall Daniel Ash who writes all the music.
No, no, no, it'scollaboration. It's collaboration, but it's
all amazing. Yeah, like technicality, musicianship, they're they're very like just
in sync. Yeah, that's whatit is. It's insane how how tight
they are. I mean the lastshow is I mean the classic blood Moon

(16:04):
show. I mean that was youcan't get it any better than that.
I mean the Cruel World twenty twentytwo, and when they play, they
don't have any extra guys playing,like the keyboards, nothing straight up how
they do everything. Peter Murphy wouldsometimes play with Triangle. Sometimes they just
turn up loud and you're like,wow, that's just them playing loud and

(16:26):
bust out of saxophone. You know, it's crazy. Uh, Peter a
recorder actually, right when they're doingseason parties, there's a little solo party.
He plays a recorder when the saxophonecomes out ere he goes sacks them
all together altogether. They do itas a band. But oh, officially

(16:47):
they're not together right back together?Or are they? They were going to
tour after Cruel World, but theyhad a whole tour plan but Peter Murphy
got sick again and they had tocancel the tour. I hope he's okay,
man, He's he's okay now,but yeah, like, but he's
yeah, Peter Murphy's hasn't been inthe greatest of health. Like he had
a residency residency show in New Yorkback in twenty nineteen that also had to

(17:07):
get cut short because of hard problems, probably just the remnants of being a
druggie party, I mean, andhe goes hard on his performing, hard
performing. Yeah yeah, he's notjust standing there, he's you know,
he has a whole act that he'sdoing with the show. It's so awesome.
How about Peter Murphy's a solo actfamiliar? I know the hits,
but I don't know that it wasn'treally that also doesn't include his um like

(17:30):
his Dallas yeah, DASCAR side projects. You know, well he did that
and then went solo. Yeah,yeah, he did, he did.
He had a few collaborations, buthe did a collaboration of to Long Ago
with with Trent Resider. Okay,they did. You know, he basically
did like bath House Covers with Trentplaying the music, you know, his
trans band playing the music and GeorgiaVision songs. That was crazy too.

(17:52):
That was that was a weird Thatwas a weird collaboration. So like they
did Dead Souls, So imagine PeterMurphy's singing Dead Souls with Trents band playing
the back mum music. How didthe other how did the Bathhouse um cover
sound the Bathhouse covers um? Ithink they also did a Belle Ghost He's
Dead and that sounded good because itcan't go wrong, really can't buck that
up. You know especially got Trentand you know the actual singer. Yeah,

(18:17):
but okay, yeah, but onething I forgot we always do is
um yeah, the song details oftime paste. Yeah. Oh shoot,
but um we'll be right back forsome pop quiz after these messages and we're
back and it's time for some popalready for the pop quiz. I think
I did your research. I'm sureyou'll nail all this. I didn't get

(18:38):
too deep into bows history. It'smore here and there, very very surface
level um trivia for you. Okay, pop quiz number one. The wood
see parts of this music video wasillegally filmed in the property of this English
royalty. Okay, A dispensers,b the Asters, be the Bachers or

(19:00):

(19:42):
You're gonna filmed them in the backyardof my work right there. We have

they never really had a wide shotof anything. It was all like pretty
cut close, yeah, okay.This track peaked the highest for the Mask

Oh weird. Yeah. When Ifirst heard that too, I remember
it kind of went viral on mymy news feed on Facebook back in the
day. That's why were they evenlike hanging out together. I don't know,

(22:03):
but that could that happen. Youcould actually you can find a video
on YouTube weird video. It wasbizarre, weird game. It was probably
pissed off, like I know,singing up there because I modeled Morpheus on
Peter Murphy. Got damn, it'sfun, but no lightning round. That's
it. You killed me here.I was studying for the lightning round.
He's just getting you back into yougot the next episode. You'll get the

(22:26):
lightning round for us. Okay,guys, you want to talk about the
music video, let's do it?Is it? Man? All right?
So yeah, so we're at theSpencers right. Well, I don't know
because it starts off with this thiswhy non descript what is it castle?
Whatever you call? What would youcall it? It's I mean it's ominous
though, right, It's like darkshadows hammer horror films have very just like

(22:51):
a silhouette of this tall tower anda blue dusk. You know. What
threw me off was the like thestill images and then going to the to
the you know, there's a lotof kind of still stop moving or moving
and then stopping. And I waslike throwing off at that at the beginning
because I'm just not used to thatin music or music videos, you know,
because like the music is going exactly, it doesn't it doesn't even remind

(23:11):
you of like, wait, didmy thing just woke up? Did I
exactly? Is it? Um?What is that called? It's uh like
it's still loading. Yeah no.But then after when I watched it a
couple of times and then I'm like, oh, I get it, Like
yeah, it's part of it.It's almost like they're throwing back to the
old art films, you know,and stuff like that, you know,
because they're you're going forward the wholeGerman exactly expressionism aesthetic. Yeah, when

(23:32):
he did not really get back becauseI wasn't a movie student or anything.
I just I just thought it wasjust like very striking. But it does
hit hard though when they do that, Oh it does and onto flashing lights
pause you know what I mean.It's really on one of those images that
they want you to really get,you know. I mean, yeah,
I mean, let's keep going.I don't want to go straight quasimotive but
let's keep let's get to that.And then of course you get like almost

(23:56):
he's like almost mummified, right withthe thing round around from a covered in
this white powder, and you gotlike this tarish goo like on the sides
of his face. Look probably cameout of his mouth. His eyes were
just blacked out as well. He'snot moving yet. He's laying like we
said, he's laying on the onthe cambucca palette from Costco. Right,

(24:18):
they're marinating a palette. You know, I was like, the palets,
it sounds like a pire when they'reabout to like yeah in the wood,
right, oh yeah, yeah,I know. It looked at there being
fried and it's very reminiscent to afuneral pie. You got to imagine the
quality the lighting as well, becauseapparently the lights were powered by car batteries,
right, yeah, car batteries,And like I literally thought when I

(24:41):
first read that they actually just hadcars. They had lights of the cars
just beaming at the whole thing.But but yeah, like and then a
quick shot of like a big footstyle walking across with his long arms,
right, So it's so weird,right because it doesn't like who is who
that's that's David j. That's walkingthe slip cut cut offs with the shirt
and yeah, yeah it looks longer. Yeah. Yeah, it's really crazy.

(25:03):
It's very body horror. There's alot of body horror stuff, yes,
definitely. Yeah. Then we getback to Peter m and to me,
yes, this is the scariest cartoonin that little piece kind of moves
out of his neck. Yeah.That's weird, right because it freaks you
out. But it's just a thingand it moves, it move like it
fell loud or slip and I'm like, that's not a mistake because that's fucking
scary. It's creepy. Well,it's again very hammer horror, like that

(25:26):
cheaply made like seventies, late sixties, um, I mean yeah, snuff
film or even like Filipino horror moviesseventies. It has that quality that makes
you feel like it's very unsettling,like it's too real. It's real.
Yes, it's guttural because it lookslike that might have hurt or something,
right, maybe it shaped him orsomething. But it kind of seems like,
all right, it's given us asignal that's something about he's about to

(25:48):
be resurrected right from something. There'sjust something's going on. But yeah,
like but you also get like littleflash cuts off the best of the band
members, and and you know youhave Daniel ash Is, like he's like
topless and he all this ashy ashyLarry Peter m told the Ashy Larry.
Yeah, but like but he haslike these charcoal like lines all over his
just smudges all over his body,and he's throwing up as well. Yeah,

(26:11):
he's just like a transformation of somesort right, right, Yeah,
it's like an exorcism happening. Buthe does the smoke too, right,
Yeah, it's all very burned.Yeah, yeah, it's just yeah,
it's very like you put dry icein his mouth and it's like coming out
right. He's vaping before vaping wasa thing or almost kind of like a
like your soul leaving your body,right, very slowly coming. But guys,
that's not that's that's backtrack here forone second, and let's go to

(26:33):
the mount to David J. We'regonna talk about that freaked me out because
I thought, because you know,like a mirror reflection sometimes well broken,
Yeah, you can to start yourface, but then he comes from behind
that glass and he's really like that, like avengered. Yeah, it's kind

(26:55):
of like in the video poses onthat point, we just see his face
the best. It's kind of likein the movie Top Secret when the doctor
with the big guys and he getsout of the glass. Is really that
big. That's the best part ofexactly. Also a friend of the show
Paul when he was in high school. Oh no, he had a high

(27:15):
school his ID, yes, andin back man, they would get your
picture and they would laminate it,and at one time his picture got melted.
It looks exactly like David Jane.This he's a topic avenger that right.
And it's funny enough because Paul playedthe bass for us. He was
channeling David Jane. It's all addingup now. But that got me again.

(27:38):
That prosthetic looks pretty cool, prettycool. That must have cost him
bucks, right, They said theyhad a miniscuel budget according to the biography.
Yeah, I don't know, LikeI mean, those were hard to
come by. You gotta have adefects to yeah, to get based complexion
and his eyes, eye color andall that. Yeah, this video could
have looked awesome in black and white, but they shows to do it color

(28:00):
and that's more expensive, you know, in every way, and it was
fucking I didn't see that coming.I didn't see that coming at all.
And then it doesn't like he's normal. The rest of the video exactly doesn't
come back. Yeah, he outof the best part. No. I
think it's kind of cool because ifnot, we would have gotten like then
you would start seeing like maybe thelines coming off it and start getting cheesy.

(28:22):
You know, everybody came off afterthat scene like oh well, and
then we got one shot doesn't needthe mirror thing to Freaklue out, and
that's what we did her job.I love the targeted Louis. It was
all for me, for him,and then you get a lot of like
playing light and shadow, right,there's a lot of those scenes too.
I like that that part. It'sreally nice. And you have the drummer

(28:45):
as well. He's wearing this veryghostly makeup as well, and he's playing
the drums and the drums primitively right, Yeah, because the song, I
mean talk about the song for allright, just like the actual song itself,
it's very basic drums and very tribal. The guitars are it's going through
a lot of um pitch delays andlike slowing it down and all that.

(29:07):
And it's almost spoken word really fromhim, you know, from Murphy's like
the way his delivery is to oneof the their real very classic experimental experimental
Yeah, and it marrors the video, which is kind of cool. Yeah.
And that's the thing too that thedirectors, those two guys, Lars
and Collins, you know they didthey run the Baker's banquet. Is that
No, they work for Baker's Bank. I guess if a band wants to

(29:30):
make a music video, they todo the you know, because basically what
they wanted to do to convey forthis one was to show the essence of
the band. It's not because theywant to make a music video for a
mask as a single, they wantto say this is baos because these were
still the era promotional videos MTV barelytook off, hasn't taken the world by
a total storm yet, and theydecided, you know, this video is

(29:52):
going to show you know, it'sa promotional video. Like if you know,
if you want companies to hire Bows, we'll show them this video.
This is what they're about. Whatare their eyes is melting off? Just
shows that. But but seriously,like you know, like, if you
want a band that's out there,these are your guys. These are your
guys. These are your If DavidJay's eyeballs won't do it for you,
it's Peter Murphy's charisma, you know, at the very least, at the

(30:12):
very least, right, can weget to the the kiss drooling in the
mouth. Oh okay, so fuckingthrew me off too, And I'm totally
cool. I didn't know that theydid stuff like that. And then and
the thing they would they would kisssometimes to kind of throw people to just
a shock value, right, isthat was like a thing that they would
do. Oh on the time abouton Live? Yeah, yeah, Peter

(30:33):
Murphy would you know, do alot of homer rodic homer rodic stuff.
Yeah, just tash. But danieAs would just play a shit. He
won't be um as a responsive.Peter would flirt with them and stuff.
But he's doing it not because he'smaybe he has tracked them. But they
also did it like to like getthe crowd going, because they knew it
would provoke, provoke, yeah,hate and stuff like that. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, he does itto provoke, but also to fuck with

(30:53):
Daniel Lash because because many times thoseguys stand each other like a thing.
I think people were like like shootingp at them with water, yeah,
water pistols, yeah yeah. Liketheir shows, yeah yeah, because because
of like they're the homo rock stuff. They would like they were like like
people were angry about it and theywould do that to them or something.
But but I just think that's justfans being assholes. Yeah. I mean

(31:15):
it's because there were there was likeaccounts too of like Peter Murphy would perform.
He would he was talking about onetime where he was just covered and
spit. Yeah. Yeah, we'rejust spitting on him. He's just like
he's taking it right there, youknow, doing his crucifixion poses and shit,
and he'd just be like freaking yeah. Johnny Ryan would talk about that
too, and he like would hateit and he would stop shows when people
would spit all time. I mean, that's fucked up. You know,

(31:36):
man, They're they're in the sanitarial, you know, they're you know,
they're out there to make a livingand I mean you can be at the
end of the day they're still working. You know, they're there to entertain
you. You know, I mean, if they're putting on a shitty show,
sure, but I would never spitout of band. It's crazy.
Okay, So we get to apart where he this is he actually turns

(31:56):
his head well not yeah, becausethey're doing they're doing the ritualistic way to
erect Peter Murphy. Kiss that kissspit thing kind of yeah, life giving
him life, right, he's likeletting like his drool basically go on Peter
Murphy's mouth, right, David Jay. He walks by two and like thing,
yeah he does, he kind ofdoes. He closes his eyes kind

(32:17):
of thing. Oh but even thoughhis eyes are closed, he still does
the finger you know, he runshis fingers through his when somebody dies with
their eyes classic, he does that. And then you get oh wow,
you know, like Brian Ferry,Kevin Haskins over there, the drummer,
he's like dressed in nines. Right, he looks like a male model.
Dude. Yeah, yeah, soundslike damn yeah, absolutely, he's dressed

(32:38):
in nine. And he rubs hishand on Peter Murphy's chest is coke laid
in chest and uh, and thenyou got Peter Murphy just convulsing, and
then he's amazing body acting. Right. Yeah, that back bow, yeah,
that his classic backbow is he dida lot of movement on that back.

(32:58):
But he needed to be the threebands, all right. I'm like
having some contact with him in orderfor him to like come to life.
I guess that kind of brings thewhole band into Without it, he couldn't
he wouldn't be able to be whathe became had it not been like,
you know, like affected by thethree band members, right, because again
this is about Bauhaus the band.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(33:20):
he is what they make him,but he is also himself behind his own
eventually, Yes, he becomes himselfwhen he does that resurrection thing. It's
basically just like a side view ofhim doing that to re accentuated and then
he looks at the camera. AndI was telling you guys earlier how much
that is fucking freaky scaring when heturns to you, like, I don't

(33:42):
know what it is. I mean, I don't know Peter acted that or
rehearsed it or all that, butthat just like God, it's it's the
not being clear. It's a littlebit far away, and but you know,
there's some grotesqueness happening, you know, at a distance, and it's
like and it's you can't your braincan't figure it out, so it's like,
you know, your natural reaction isto be It's also that weird seventies

(34:04):
early eighties super Thin front man likeBowie Houses too, when he shirts off,
he could do these weird poop withtheir second microphone stuff and yeah,
contorting, retorting, it's gasp worthy. But like horror monster movies, use
like something inside of you is likewanting to come out, and the only

(34:27):
way it can is through like almostdestroying your insights. But American London transformations
metamorphosizing Michael Jackson thriller exactly. Butin real life ye, yes, yeah,
it's very realistic. And you're right, that's oh there's something that that
scratches your back. It's like yeah. And then there's a scene too where
it's like a few cutaway scenes ofPeter Murphy also resurrecting, and then but

(34:52):
he's breaking through pieces of plastic.Oh yeah, oh yeah, that always
freaks me out because of you knowwhat when people put a plastic bag into
their head and them you know,like when you got that always freaks me
out. Yeah, you get asuffocation kind of Even when I put plastic
wrap on, like on a bowlof like old nachos or something, you
know, like I get kind ofgrossed out because it sings back to that.

(35:12):
You see that and then people tryingto breathe underneath it and break through
it, and you put it thatgross Look at my bowl and not just
some old chicken fingures you brought back. You know, you're putting it in
plastic wrap? Were you dropping littlebits of spit on it? Break it
down a little bit? But thisto me is like the climax of the
song. The best part of thesong is when Daniels bust, like the

(35:35):
snaps out of the feedbacks and thegrunt, the grunting guitars and that this
is just a very huge release.Yeah. And I remember when they were
touring back in ninety eight it masks. It wasn't really part of their overall
set, but they threw that in. They played that song live, and
um, I don't know, Iwas just like in a weird zone when

(35:59):
when that part happened. I waslike, I felt like my soul left
my body. Somebody's spinning. Areyou saying that you got the little death.
Guess yeah, because I was followingBause in their West West Coast tour
back in ninety and the Resurrection tour, so like, they played like a

(36:20):
few shows in LA and I wasI was on hand for all of them.
And then they threw in that songin the middle of the second leg,
and I was already kind of knewthe playlist. I'm like, oh,
and then all of a sudden,I'm like, oh crap, you're
playing mask. It's like you gota musical version of the Quasimodo. I

(36:42):
just like drooped down, you know, I was only dreaming then, but
yeah, yeah, And I meanit's amazing. There's there's one recording on
YouTube that they did back in theearly eighties of this song live. It's
crude. They scrude recording too,but it's definitely not a sharp imagine bathhouse
now how clean you know how fuckingtight they are. But damn. But

(37:04):
but when that guitar happened, though, I was like, oh, there
it is. They're so tight live, it's insane, Like it's so powerful.
Yeah, I mean, they haveto be tight. I kind of
even like I remember, like they'renotorious for having bad shows early, like
are kind of like they were bad. They were there when they were still
actually an active band. Yeah,they're mostly but you know what above all

(37:27):
they're intact is a group. Youknow. Yeah, there's a lot of
I mean like new Orders notoriously aBad Live Man too and stuff like that.
But when they were they get Imean because of the guitars, it's
so like loud and just abrasive.So for when it comes at you with
the whole type band coming at you, it's it's very powerful. Yeah.
Now there's a scene where I thinkit's Kevin Haskins. He's kind of like

(37:49):
breaking out of a cocoon, rightbecause he's wrapped into these like these dried
twig type Oh yeah, that's rundno. But he's kind of like like
like he's in the group safe yeahexactly right, like exactly yeah, before
he ends up crawling with it.Pieces of him are so Yeah, that's
kind of cool too. You didn'tsee the Dancing Baby group on side when

(38:14):
because David Jay generally is very reserved, you know in the band, like
there's all the shades on all thetime. It's always cool and collective,
but he's like acting out on thisone, right, it's crazy to kind
of see him break this. Idon't know, at least my idea of
them. Yeah, they and thelike at the beginning, and then when
they're doing their separate they're kind ofcenter bites. They each have like their
own little thing, and it's likeit doesn't really connect with the rest of

(38:37):
the thing, but then it doeswith bringing back to Peter Memurphy to life.
But then but they are their ownlittle thing and they have their own
you know, like each center biteis very particular, and that's kind of
like what I was getting at,where like in order for that to happen,
each one had to kind of youknow, contribute to to his rebirth
or whatever you want to call it, right, you know what we did.
Forget though, there's that scene wherePeter Murphy's just looking into the camera

(38:58):
he's doing the team Oh yeah,yes, because I love that part.
Yeah, that purplish kind of black. That's one of the really the photo
shot that stopped on one of thephotos right right, his teeth like coming.
Yeah, Like I always thought likedid they shoot was that an older
footage they just added in there,or was this shot actually in the same
you know, in the same production. It was part of it. I

(39:21):
think some of those like solo shots, they might have filmed somewhere out.
Yeah, like a lot of thebigger shots maybe be filmed there because it
looks like a face he would makeon the live show, and the live
show exactly right, And and that'swhat I thought. I was thought kind
of that that's what it was.But yeah, that's very unsettling just this,
you know, like Peter mur isa beautiful man, you know,
and but this demonic range. Yeah, like freaking Pezzuzu level, like face

(39:44):
on the Possessed in you just putthat shot in the middle of a movie,
like when you redo the movie,like they add more to the Exorcist
Murphy's face. You got Peter Murphy, Um, I'm David Jay just dragged
and himself on the on the propertyof the Spencers. I'd imagine where that
those scenes. Yeah, sure,I basu the stuff with like you know,

(40:07):
the roots and the facetually that maybethat was films other places. But
then like the bigger, more widescenes, how about the one with Peter
Murphy wearing that headdress with the horsereins right shadows cast and he's making these
contorious very exaggerated faces. He's lookingRyan to your soul, all right,

(40:28):
dude, But yeah, it's likewe can't make it out. Is it
a head dress? Is a horseharness? Just ye leather leather with like
you know, like these metal likethink clips to connect them. Yeah,
I think I find my Halloween costhim, David Jay and the dress on.
Yeah, so David Jad. Afterthat he leaves, he walks away
as I'm out of here where heturned his bag and walks away. I'm

(40:49):
not on the horse play, No, no, no, too cool for
that, and then cast on PeterMurphy that when he's missing from that from
the palettes. Yeah, yeah,that's and it's just there for a while,
like, oh is it what's goingon here? Ye? Overall shot
and then he slowly slow But thething is he's seen the shadow. You
can see his full his far Yeah, but it's just black. Yeah,

(41:13):
but it's just black. But thenhe starts, you know, with the
with the magic of paint, paintbrush bro or something like that. No,
no, but it's it's you know, it's it's a trick compleated that
reverse or something that he faded himback in. So he's back in the
in that part in his original state, right, and then the song ends.
The song ends, Well, therewas a part with the gossamer sheet,

(41:37):
right, kind of like like onhis face. Wasn't that like later
after that? Yeah, that's likehe breaks that off though. That's when
he gets up right, Like theyshow scenes and he's all powdery and actually
lay that out. Okay, whenhe comes up from the when he comes
back to life. I thought hewas gonna come back to life and killed
him. Liked it seems like right, I mean, Daniel ash is already
like he's excreting stuff from his mouth. That's like his theme, right,

(42:00):
He's releasing shit from his mouth.All of his scenes where something is coming
out out of him, right,ectoplasm. Right. Yeah, it's funny
that those are his only scenes.He was the one that's featured the least.
He's strange. Well, i meanafter that drooling, you know,
like a mother bird giving cess andit's young right, It's like, I'm
done, I'm good. What whosecall was that? You know? Like

(42:22):
who made that decision for him?Was it Peter Daniel? I was just
do that calls him Danny, Hey, Danny, Danny, doesn't he calls
him Danny from the once. Ithink he called him Dann the man,
you know, like yeah, KevinAskeys, like I'm just gonna touch his
chest, you guys. Yeah,and it ends right, it ends right

(42:42):
there. But I really think thoughthis was David J. Was really like
I bet you David J. Pluggedin a lot of the ideas in this
one, because he seems to bethe one who's like he's really like the
MVP, right, Yeah, Itold you Daniel was like I didn't really
want him in the band in thebeginning because he's controlling, you know,
I'm pretty sure a lot of hisideas we were on the forefront. Like
he's also very like um, likevery eighties handsome, Like he looks like

(43:07):
he could be an even like DuranDuran or something like that. So I
would see how they put him upfront sort of to like bring in like
not just like you know, thegoth crowd, to bring in maybe some
other kind of like eighties people arelike, oh, that guy's cute,
you know, like to kind ofpush him up front a little bit too,
because I mean, when he's allmodeled up, like he looks great,
he's got the big brother syndrome.So he always wants control, right

(43:30):
the show. Okay, so um, we'll be right back for some notable
YouTube comments. All right, guys, it's time for the notable YouTube comments.
You know what I noticed when Iwas skimming through these notable YouTube comments.
It's no longer user names that theyhave there. They have at names
you know what that make the accountnames. You know, So like the

(43:52):
first, like the first comment herefrom at Ryan Hampton seven nine four,
you have because now you can doYouTube Is it like that? Yeah?
You could add people now in theYouTube comments. Since the last time we
started doing this, we just havenormal handles. Now there's ats so at
Ryan Hampton says. Unfortunately, artistrylike this is frighteningly rare these days,

(44:14):
in fact, almost non existence inmusic. One of my top ten favorite
songs of all time, and that'sdifficult list to make considering I'm not Gothic
in any way, shape or form. I mean imagine though, like,
right, this song isn't a structuredsong. It's not it's definitely not top
forty friendly for radio friendly, experimental, and it's not mainstream. And the

(44:35):
fact that, yeah, like itcan convert a person like Ryan right here,
right, I thought. I thoughtthat was very notable. Individuals and
the music are amazing together. Yeah, all absolutely like a good wine and
cheese. Okay. At Ryan Williamsone three, this is a Ryan.
It just happens to be. TheRyans are making very notable YouTube comments.

(44:57):
Is this a bad House? AndMurphy did a lot to distance themselves from
goth and the label they helped createand to instead identify as art rock YEP.
But this video is raw and terrifyingand full of excessive melodrama and has
to be the darkest and best thingthey have ever done. That's a life
very really but I can I cansee. But it's very dark for sure,

(45:19):
you know. But I you know, I get. I get what
he's trying to throw there. Um. When I was first a teen,
the album Mask was the first gothrock album I've ever heard. At the
time, I did not get itat all with its angular, noisy,
ard energy, but I do rememberbeing floored by the title song, this
song. Now I see the video. Wow, Yeah, I'm asking your
professional opinion. I don't know ifyou've read any read upon this, but

(45:43):
what's considered the first rock band?Well, there's there's a whole documentary you
could find on YouTube on this.I mean, you can even go as
far as um freaking the guy who'ssaying I put a spell on you.
Oh yeah, no I forgot hisname, but yeah, like it's it's,
it's, it's it's a rather supernaturalsounding song, you know, it's

(46:07):
something. There's a whole host ofmusic from the fifties, you know,
when the rock and roll really Imean, it depends really how you want
to go. Well, there's alot of blues songs too, about like
you know, death and you knowexactly yes, um death or like just
a human condition of fear and youknow, I mean all of that.

(46:30):
There's a lot of music like that, and it doesn't necessarily have to have
that that that sound of like becausethe meaning I guess behind which like I
mean like the classical goth that wesee it today. I mean rock they
say goth rock. I guess rockrock. Yes, everyone always points a
bell goes He's dead by bows becausethat came out in seventy nine, seventy

(46:52):
nine, two years before Masks cameout. Um, but before that people
would would associate dark music with likeVelvet Underground, which is very feedback noise,
and you know they they were heroinaddicts. They all look like their
ghosts because they're white with the black. With the black, they carry that

(47:13):
the dark, that very off puttingaesthetic, I would say them because they
they're also outcounted as influences for ourbows as well. Yeah, with everybody.
Yeah, you know Bowie. Ofcourse, there's you know, there's
no you know, self respecting goththat doesn't like Bowie. Yeah, even
like the Stooges. It's like there'sa certain like side of it where it's

(47:36):
it's dangerous. It's like the you'reyou're treading the line of like death and
and and pain and you know whatI'm saying. So a lot of that
has some elements of like the humanfrailty, you know, like you can
easily kind of fall into those trappings. Yeah, it's but sound wise,
not necessarily, you know, butit's still that proto punk d of thing,
and it's very raw, you know, I guess that's Yeah, it's

(47:57):
a pretty deep but I bet youthere's a lot about the ground we've never
heard of or really made a bigsplash in the charts or whatever, you
know, that that's that can beconsidered like grandfathers of this genre, you
know, socially, because there's alot like late seventies, I'm sure there's
a lot of like synth bands thatare that are synth bands. Yeah,
Like, wow, you guys weredoing that back band already. You know,
they sounded like, you know,like that, but then they look

(48:17):
like you know, seventies disco people. It's it's very weird on some of
those like older synth bands that reallydidn't get too big you see around.
I mean a lot of the BeggarsBanquets bands, I'm sure like playing this
kind of feel, you know thatthey're trying to emulate interesting specifically a band
I can't it's hard to pinpoint.Huh. Definitely Bad House for sure,
man. I mean they were thegrandfathers of all this kind of pulled it

(48:38):
all together, you know, booksounds because visuals, right, Yeah,
they were glam influenced, you knowthings. Yeah, what does uh officially
together? What seventy nine, seventyeight by House seventy nine, So even
Joy Division pre pre dates them,man, Yeah, you know, right,
like a couple a couple of years. Yeah, as far as like

(48:59):
Worse Off, but that was stillkind of that was kind of moved into
that was that was punk, youknow exactly punk Bows was just like they
I think they did see Joy Divisionand Curse actually went to see George was
a bath house as well when whenthey were touring when he was yeah,
and that wasn't closer was what eightynineteen eighty Yeah, yeah, so that
was and that was that's very dark. It's crazy those two bands are synonymous

(49:21):
but at the same time so different. But they gave me the same field
though, you know what I mean, it didn't even the same field.
Yeah, if you look at AtrocityExhibition you could say that absolutely. Yeah,
yeah, like actual guitar. Butfor sure the Velvet underground that hopelessness,
the feel of like, oh man, the despair, even though they're
more into like that city drugs,the seededness of of the big city life,

(49:45):
right like the sexual ambiguous. Yesthat then also the Velvet also has
a lot of noisy guitars exactly.Yeah, feedback and I can see the
definitely. Roots did a song calledRose Garden Funeral of Sores, which was
written by John Kale. There yougo, there they you know, they're
very much like yeah and um therewas a few instances where Peter Murphy had
duets with Nico m hm oh Kowas very druggy and all around the place

(50:08):
at that time too. Yeah,that's right and okay, So final YouTube
comment was by Ryan at a niceat Estonia heard literally lost my virginity to
this one. I choreographed it thatway, such a dorg but I stand
by my musical accompaniment of choice tothis day. Wow. Right, David

(50:34):
Jay's drooping eyeball. He's like,oh man, nothing gets to my juices
flowing to David Jay's drooping eyes.Man, you can use it to something
worse like Yeah, he could havebeen been a little bit more later and
lost it to I don't know,glycerine by Bush or something. You know,

(50:57):
I just heard that song. Yeahit was real because yeah, nineties
on nine is a staple there orsilver Chair or something, you know,
even flow talk about Mookie Blaylock thatband. Okay, bath House Mask.
Would you keep it or would youthrow it back? I'm rusty, man,

(51:20):
let me let me let me laythis out real quick. If you
were if somebody asked, hey,what's this song about? Or what do
you think? Lyric wise, visuals, sound what would you where would you
go first? I would think youread the lyrics, no idea. It's
very very poetic, you know,absolutely deep. Because the thing is like
when I first heard the song,I saw the video almost around the same
time, So it's always been synonymousin my head the visualization of it,

(51:42):
so like I could not separate thetwo. So I always imagine this fucking
creepy ass figure coming to life orjust haunting you, following you through wherever,
you know, as you're covered upin groot sticks. But you know,
I thought about it and if Iwere to boil it down, and
I thought, well, maybe readingthe lyrics, I kind of read through
him, like, you know,because I'm a fan of lyrics. I

(52:04):
like really reading what it's, whatsomething is about, you know. But
I boil it down to like theword release, right like this, we
all have this darkness inside of usthat kind of needs to come out,
but at the same time we haveto be able to control it. I
mean, you know, there's Iwrote this line from the growth underneath the
closed mouth. You'll catch if youlisten, you know. I mean that's
a cool it's crazy, you know, Like yeah, but you know,

(52:25):
sometimes we want to say what wesay. It's really about what are our
actions, right, Like it's it'show we interpret ourselves. But matching the
sound, matching the visuals. Ifelt like a lot of it is him
coming to life, right And thecrescendo is this him like a you know,
like really trying to get whatever thatis, whatever that things is inside

(52:45):
of him. And at the endof it, he goes back to where
he was, to where he wasfrom the beginning, Right, he had
a chance to let it out,but then you have to kind of like
tamp it back down. And whatthey're like truestelf and then the mask you
were, yes, you know likeas a human being, right, we
we wear these different hats, right, like we're this where that I felt
like that was it's and it coincideswith this album, their second album as

(53:06):
being like they're kind of like theirbreakthrough almost. Yeah, the first one
is excellent, but the second onewas really like kind of elevated them to
a new level, right And andthey and I think they they foresaw that,
hey, we need to kind ofshow them who they are, you
know, both visually, artistically andoverall. Man. I mean it's something
that I would want to do,like just the effects, the practical effects
they use. It's it's it's veryentertaining. It's cool and on a minuscule

(53:29):
budget. Yeah, exactly, youknow the car battery. Yeah, this
is offensive but definitely a keep.Yeah, it's good, um for me,
man, Like, yeah, I'venever seen this video before. Oh
this is my first time too,I've never seen I've never seen this.
So yeah, when I when Ithrew in the suggestion that you were like
you had no idea, it wasfascinate. All right, let me see

(53:50):
something. Yeah that's good. UmNo, this is the one of the
things I love about music videos isthe perfect melting between the song and the
video. And it's I don't knowwhat you could do other than that to
this song, and I don't knowwhat song you could do to that video.
You know, like it's perfect together. I love the um you know,
artistry of it. I love whatthey're going for. I love their

(54:12):
influences. You know, all theinfluences. You could see the influences,
but they're you know, they're turningthem into their own thing. Um.
And then when you read about howyou know it was you know, stolen
footage they had a sneak in theyyou know, all this different thing and
then the know what they did withthe budget, you know, is amazing.
I don't even know what that groutthing was, and that might have
scratched him up back. They mighthave just found something, you know,

(54:36):
tumbleweed or something. Yeah, theytook a tumbleweed and put on David.
Yeah yeah, like what's this guys? What are you guys doing? Lads?
No, this is definitely a keeper. It's it's quite essential goth to
early um video making. Man,yeah, nineteen eighty one, I mean
video kill Raders Start was just whatlike a couple years before, yes,

(54:58):
yeah, year and a half,man, right, and this is a
promotional video. You know, thishas made without even MTV. And I
love promotional videos, yeah, becauseI think the freedom is there. You
know, the promotion videos are reallyreally cool, much better than actual produce.
It's kind of cool when you seea promotional video that's a video that's
not just a live performance, whicha lot of them are just a live
performance. Yeah yeah, yeah.We touched upon that with bo Human Rhapsody

(55:20):
you yeah, yeah, yeah,but yeah, as for me, yeah,
you know, of course I'm keepingthis one. Like I mean,
you guys already kind of reiterate.It was as far as like just the
overall feel. And you know,on a small budget, they could cram
in this rather unforgettable video. Andyou know, with Peter's charisma is acting,

(55:43):
you know, he's like, Imean, they've done a music video
before this one. It was forTelegram Sam and that video had that kind
of darkness feel as well. Theyfilmed it in a little boiler room alleyway
kind of thing. But um,that doesn't compare to this music video a
year later. Peter's charisma, youknow, he acted years later. Really,
he's done the Maxell commercials. He'sshown up in one of the Twilight

(56:07):
movies. Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot about that. He played
the first vampire in the in Americas. I think that's what his character was.
The he was the elder. Hewas the elder vampire. You know,
the guy could the guy just couldn'tjust straight up reform when and when
he wants to. And um,you know, and the guy's a treasure
ego aside DNL and his druggies aside. I wish that he kept himself a

(56:27):
little healthier so we could enjoy himfor long you can enjoy him for longer
and and and enjoy his own lifeand with his family, you know,
but sadly, like a lot oftimes and unfortunately, you know, like
you need those things to Yeah,you medicate with that kind of stuff to
bring that side of you to comeout or even to tap down. Just
Peter Murphy, who did drugs,I mean the entire eighties the decade,

(56:52):
was doing with snorty Okay. Yeah, so yeah, I'm keeping a music
video. Wait at whatever, I'mdefinite keeping a music video. I'm sure
because yes, it's, in myopinion, the best Baos music video.
The same the same group, thesame group did another music video to follow
it, you know, um,to follow up their third album, which

(57:14):
is The Sky's Gun on album,there's a track called Spirit in there.
They had more definitely had more budgetthis one. But Bahouse hated that video.
They hated that video. They pulledout from their own accounts to reshoot
the video to release it and saiddestroy this video, destroy this monstrosity.
But that's the one that got out, still got out. Yeah, so

(57:37):
like whatever they did, well,the record company is wasted. Yeah.
Yeah, Beggar's Banquet screwed him overon that sucks. So, yeah,
it is a bad video. Theyeven hated the track itself that came out
from the music video, But thetrack that came out from the Sky's Gun
Out album was the one they wantedto do. So there's a distinct difference

(57:58):
between the spirit in the song andthe music video versus the one that actually
came out in the Sky's Got anOut album. Because at least they got
that little victory. So maybe ifthey do a concert like Men with the
Hats, they'll play the original atthe beginning and then they'll play the Room
the remix at the end. Butyes, I'll keeping this video, triple
keeps. It's a good video,man, good pick. All right,

(58:21):
okay, Ryan, So what yougot next for us? All right,
we're taking a plane one year laterinto the future and we're gonna do the
classic Flock of Seagulls nineteen eighty two. Iran, Oh, don't run too
far away, stay with us.It's gonna be a good episode, all
right, Oh man, classic,that's a classic. Let to talk about
you. You've seen the documentary ofthe VH one what I called The Bandy

(58:46):
United. It's very interesting a lotof good stories on YouTube. So and
you know, sadly, a lotof people think they're one hit wonders.
But guess what a lot of greatfucking songs right Like Iran wasn't even the
first song from them. I ranto my favorite song from me neither basically,
So there's so many good songs likea banger dude. Yeah, yeah,

(59:07):
but stay tuned, Stay tuned.I ran so close to one hundred
episodes. Congratulations, guys, wemade it century Marks. Okay, guys,
one hundred episodes. What can wedo to make the next one hundred
episodes a lot better? Record them? But yeah, we can. You
know, we can use a littlemore cleaning up the past episodes. That's

(59:29):
definitely a goal of mine when Ifind the downtime, which is making sure
that the ad breaks are more oneone a day or something or one every
couple of days, you know whatI mean. Yeah, whenever you apologize
to any back catalog listeners of anyabrupt AD breaks in the middle of a
joke or or something stupid that Isaid, well, I mean, it's

(59:51):
all new. You know, everybodywas learning. It's a learning process.
It's a never ending learning process.I would also like to thank anyone who
hung around through all these years andthrough all the the episodes. You know,
even someone who just took a glance, took a chance on us.
We appreciate it. Man, Wetook a long break. Huh, take
a chance to take a chance.Last episode was uploaded in October or something
like that, October August, somethinglike that. Yeah, we should almost

(01:00:13):
see here. Yeah, a lotof life happened. I mean, it's
not like stop existing, but yes, our schedules were just stupid. It's
hard, man, it's hard.It's hard getting it's really at least you
know. Yeah, because Ryan livestwenty thousand miles away, are you open
to five thousand miles away doing episodeson Zoom? Is that an option for

(01:00:34):
you? Well? Yeah, absolutely, It's just that like I always thought
that, you know, like wecould have done Zoom episodes for one hundred
episode, but it just just anyepisode. I'm saying, we've done it.
We've done it, That's what I'msaying. So would you be like,
let's say all of a sudden,like somebody has to do something and
then we'll be available to a littlebit later. Yeah, that's an option,
right, absolutely, I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out there
because I think the goal is tokeep it as consistent as we can,

(01:00:55):
right, Yeah, because we hada good, pretty decent track. But
again, it's hard to hold ontothat, you know, that steps away
because we had a few burns.I'm sure we've kind of felt burned out.
Yeah that too. Yeah, youknow, and people sometimes need a
break and yeah, it's not likeit's this is our livelihood, but you
know, it's fun doing it.We love doing it for people who are
interested listening. Absolutely. I thinkthat's what a lot of like when you

(01:01:16):
listen to podcasts. When they dothey do seasons, so then it doesn't
they don't have to burnout. That'swhat they do like a you know,
like a whole season and then theystart a new thing or whatever. You
know that with a little vacation breaksup. Yeah, where we don't,
we're kind of just we're we justdo all videos, so we don't do
kind of like, oh, we'regonna do all this year, you know.
So it is a little bit different. Yes, it's not a structured

(01:01:38):
even though we are as a structuredshow, but still, I mean that's
one thing like I'd love. Imean, I'll try to make a better,
better, better effort on research.Yeah, because that's one thing that
I'm definitely guilty of, is youknow, my my lack of skill in
researching even videos I host. SoI need to be better than that.

(01:02:00):
And but I still hope you findour shows entertaining. Yeah, we have
a couple of tricks that we wantto pull a little bit of maybe adding
to what we've already been doing,like for example, maybe like themed maybe
themed episodes maybe for the whole month, like we'll only be doing you know
what I'm saying, like just kindof just kind of shake it up a
little bit, right, little surprises. You know we talked about having guests
in this podcast, Yes, exactly. So this is a kind of like

(01:02:23):
an ever growing endeavor, you know, like there's always something new that we
can try out, just even becauseit will make it more fun for us,
and it's not it doesn't get stale. Yeah. Yeah, that's the
thing too, is I mean it'shard to to kind of keep a social
presence, social media presence as well. You know, it's like you know
what we lack is kind of um, let's rebring this episode back if we're
not able to do it, youknow what I'm saying. So it doesn't

(01:02:44):
say, oh, it's been thesame one and the dates have changed,
like a rerelease of some sort ormaybe just just a fifteen minute thing of
this or whatever, you know,like, yeah, that's the thing.
I mean that takes it's a littleextra work for me, exactly. I
need I need to find some sometrue like I need to balance out my
time more doing this because it usuallytakes me about let's say, to edit

(01:03:05):
an episode, I have to setaside an entire half of Saturday to edit
it. Granted, like hopefully mycomputer is a lot more powerful than what
you said before when we started out, because that one was just dreadful too
to work with. But now it'sa little smoother, so I think it's
become kind of streamlined, you know. Three. Yeah, I'd like to
devote some actual you know, likeI mean, even better production really too,

(01:03:28):
even though I think it's been improved, but I know we had some
quality issues in the past episodes aswell. That's the interesting part is that
was after another hiatus and then whenwe came back right and then it was
so you know, you get rustyafter you miss out and so you know
you I mean especially not our livelihood, not even our main skill. But
it's yeah, but you guys areliving off of this podcast. Yeah,
